She is readying herself. She gives a short nod to Josiph.

“Let’s go,” She says and Josiph smirks. He picks her up bridal style. She gasps and hides a slight blush. He chuckles. He then flashes to his family’s kingdom. He sets her down and she stumbles for a second. Until she bends over and heaves.

“Josiph, when did you get back,” They hear a female call. Her voice sounds as if she is trying to be seductive. Josiph frowns and looks at the other vampire.

“I’m just stopping by to help my hunter and for a for a visit,” Josiph answers irritated, “Now, what do you want Lilian?”

“Oh come on, how about we go have some fun,” She pouts and purrs out as she tries to flirt with him, “Your hunter doesn’t look like much anyway.”

“She’s a pure blood,” He comments as Marie stands straight, again.

“She’s a pure blood hunter,” She scoffs, “She looks like a toddler could remove or drain her.”

“You know saying that is very insulting considering I have dealt with toddlers before and survived. So, if you want to continue with being a bitch do it to my face,” Marie says as she walks up to them. Lilian looks at Josiph and he is looking at Marie. Marie is looking at Lilian fully. Lilian has long brown straight hair with blonde highlights. She is wearing a black fishnet crop top and you can see her iridescent purple bra. She has a black pleated mini skirt. She has iridescent silver 6 inch high heels on. She is just a few inches taller than Marie. Lilian has bright orange eyes.

“You really want to push me, you pathetic blood bag,” Lilian growls while glaring at Marie.

“Josiph, would I get in trouble for killing this slut,” Marie asks not taking her eyes off Lilian.

“Josiph. Sweetie. Are you going to let her say that,” Lilian pouts with sickly sweetness in her voice.

“Whatever happens, happens,” He says with a smirk. Marie nods and Lilian scowls.

“How could you let her say that! Why won’t you stick up for me,” She scoffs glaring at Marie more. She lunges at Marie and Marie pulls out a dagger. Lilian on top of Marie. Josiph walks over and removes Lilian. Marie is lying unconscious but alive. Lilian however starts to turn to ash where Josiph had put her. He picks Marie up and carries her while flashing to his childhood home. His child home is a worn beige - cream color stone castle hidden deep in the forest among the hills. He gets to the door and stops. Looking at them. The doors are made from a dark wood. They are rather tall and have small stained glass windows. The stained glass is in an abstract design with many colors. It has dark iron metal work on it. The hinges, door handles, door mechanisms, metal interlays that swirl around the edges of the doors, and the window edges are all dark iron. He carefully opens the doors while carrying Marie. He looks down at her with a soft sigh as a pair of small feet can be heard running up to them. A young boy that looks no older than 8 running up to them.

“Lukas, she is unconscious. So, no hug right now,” Josiph says and the kid stops in his tracks. The child looks at Marie.

“Is it her,” He asks innocently and Josiph nods.The boy goes wide eyed and runs off. Josiph looks around the room. The room is a grand foyer. It has little dark wood tables scattered around the room against the walls. There’s archways that lead to the other rooms or halls are gold. In the center of the foyer is a grand staircase. The staircase starts with either the left or right joining up to make one down the middle. The floors and stairs are made out of marble. The stairway railing is marble as well except for the top of it is gold. There are light violet runners on the stairway. In the middle of the stairs and top of where they meet to become one, there is a painted family portrait. It shows an older man and woman with 2 teenage looking boys and the woman is holding a baby. There is a giant rug in the middle of the room. The rug is a light violet as well. There are a couple of house plants by a couple of the tables. There is a large glass chandelier hanging in the middle of the room as well. A couple of slaves and work staff are running about. He carries Marie up the middle stairs. He takes a right and goes up the stairs. The hall he walks down has plants, paintings, and statues lining it. All the doors are made of a dark wood and have dark iron handles, mechanisms, and interlay designs that line the corners. The windows are all stained glass. The walls are a light smokey grey. The carpet is a light violet. He turns down another hallway and stops about midway down the hallway. He opens the door he stopped at. He walks in and the room is all in royal blue. THe windows have stained glass pictures. The pictures are of 3 roses. A red, yellow, and a blue, with a light blue basic background. The carpet is soft to the touch and a light royal blue. The bed is a canopy bed made of a light wood. It has royal blue silk wrapped around the top of it and draping down. The bed is covered in royal blue sheets, blankets, and pillows. There is a tapestry and paintings on the wall. The tapestry tells a tale of a prophecy foretold by 3 witches. There is a dresser and a closet off to the right side of the room. There is a door off to the left of the room. It leads to a private bathroom. He lays Marie down on the bed. He carefully and gently starts to change her out of her dress. He stops and looks at her mark. He brushes his fingers against it briefly, getting a slight shock. He then looks up at her. She is only in her under garments and sound asleep. He can see the scars of different length and sizes scattered about her body. He gently starts  to dress and treat her fresh wounds. He sighs softly as he goes to the dresser. He pulls out a nightgown. The nightgown is light sky blue with black lace for straps, around the collar, and around the skirt. He walks back over to Marie and the bed. He gently slides it on Marie and carefully picks her up. He slides the covers open and lays Marie down. He then gently covers her up and leaves the room.
